I have a computer that restarts when it should shut down. Can anyone please help me?Hardware:Motherboard - Intel D865PERL Processor - P4 3.0E GHz Memory - 512 Mb DDR PC3200 Hard Disk - 80 Gb Parallel ATA Video Card - ATI Radeon 9250 OS: Windows XP Professional.Things I've tried: Clean install of Windows XP Pro Checked if Motherboard grounds with Case Tried with another Power Supply Latest BIOS Unchecked Automatically Restart if system fails I've visited different forums, and the information doesn't seem to help.A little more explanation, if I shut down some times it shuts down, and sometimes it restarts. It restarts more often than stays of.Usually (9 out of 10) if I flick on the power switch of the volt regulator, the Computer Starts before I press the start button.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am wondering if they are all related. When I click start>shut down, computer hangs up for about 5 minutes before the box, shut down, restart, etc. shows up-computer then shuts down normally.When I print documents, the first will print, then it takes a long time before another will print. The printer is new and works fine. It is connected to this computer, but shared over a home network. Does the same with the other computers in the network.The computer screen will occasionally go dark and just reboot.
View 5 Replies View Relatedmy computer had started to restart or completely shut down on its own randomly when i was using it. The computer has gotten slower over the years (its about 5 years old) and when i shut down on its own again today i decided that i would just reformat the whole thing. So I just finished doing the disk recovery thing and i transferred over some old files that i had backed up from before onto another hard drive and I was just installing a game back onto the computer
a few moments ago when the computer restarted by itself again! when it came back i started my browser and it did it again a second time. Anyway I was wondering what the hell is going on with this thing, could it be some of the files i backed up and transferred over? Im running windows XP any additional info you guys need about the PC or what i have on it ill tell you, but please I really need some help I cant have this happening over and over again.
i have i think it is a spyware problem, there is a file in the windows folder that needs deleating, the only problem is windows vistas explorer restarts every 10 seconds or so and i cant browse the hdd because it jus restarts itself lik u have just logged in, i have even tried this in safe mode but it stil does it. Anybody know of any problems like a certain spyware name or virus that is doin this, and any programs that would likely to get rid of it, this has happened before, and i deleted the program in the windows folder and it was fine, except i dont know the name of this file i havbe to delete this time.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHave a hp Pavilion 4600ze. Nice laptop and running Windows XP. Have always (almost always) had the situation that if choose restart it will log out and go to black screen and not restart (I'm sure it isn't shutting down). Just sits there and only by powering down can one start back up. I recall finding something on the web to make a change so that Windows XP could be sent through restart OK.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Pavilion M50 monitor that i'm using for my computer with windows 2000. The monitor works fine and all, but the microphone that comes attached doesnt.(comes with a cable that plugs into the mic jack)I thought this might be a driver problem, as windows simply recognizes the Monitor as a "Plug and Play Monitor" and when trying to download the driver from the HP support site it essentially said that the Pavilion M50 had no driver for Windows 2000/XP.I don't have another micropohne to plug into the jack, only USB ones which work fine. The Audio output of the jack right beside it works fine so i don't believe it is the sound card driver.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to help a friend update or correct her winxp on her HP pavilion 520w I have a copy of my winxp cd from my dell system however I dont have the product key code to use it. So I have tried repeatedly to reset her computer to boot from her cdrom without success. I even posted here last week and someone suggested to tap the delete key when rebooting to change the boot sequence. I wasnt able to get it to work. However I did accidently discover that tapping F10 brings up the Recover system on her computer. Not knowing exactly for sure if I could just correct her winxp with recoverying the whole system I turned off the computer to stop it. I have 3 questions if the Recovery System on this HP model allows you to correct a current copy of your windows without reformatting? how to set this HP model to reboot from the CD-rom?

Is there a way around this I mean is there another way to activate my restore?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am new to this forum so please help me out. I am 64 years old and selftaught so I know little about PC. My son gave me the PC 2 years ago. I use it for email and search and browse things on PC. Lately it has a lot of popups, adds and loud rap music (even I din't run any program). Nothing on the screen except the sound on the speakers. I had tried everything, but no success for eliminate them. I tried to reformat my PC, but when I got to that point, it won't allow me to do so, because it said that ONLY one copy can be done and I don't know if my son already copied it or not. I couldn't find the system recovery disk. I know that it has a partition for recovery but I couldn't open it. So finally I called the HP customer services to buy a replacement for the system recovery disk. These guys want to do it then, but I wasn't ready yet, my data still not backup yet. I refused to do so and request only the disk. Finally the disk came and I finished backup my files, but I didn't know that I had to back up my drivers. so now I can't find the driver and stuck with the blue screen with a bunch of things that I had to check and a lot of numbers.A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI've got a HP pavilion 533w that I'm trying to fix for a friend of mine. First I ordered the recovery disks from HP and they don't work because of bad or corrupted files. I've tried 2 different hard drives, same thing. I tried loading Windows XP Professional but it fails after loading the drivers and does not respond at "Setup Is Starting Windows". Any ideas so far? I did get Windows 2000 load and everything working except the printer. When I install the HP psc 1210v all-in-one the driver fails and the printer won't print. This is a USB printer by the way.

I had to reinstall Windows XP Home on it, and I am now plagued with a NON-functioning wireless toggle on the front, and the blue light stays lit all the time. The wireless function seems to work fine. I have installed all drivers, and have also installed the HP One Touch application as directed by a HP Tech to no avail. The mute button works fine, and all other aspects of the laptop work fine other than the Wireless Toggle Switch and the Blue Wireless Status light. All worked fine before I reinstalled XP Home with a retail install disk.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy pavilion ze4500, xp O.S., is having problems starting up. I believe that the fan had some troubles in the past, as I am almost positive the notebook has shut off after leaving it on all day while I was out. Currently (and for at least 3 months since the previously described shut down) the fan appears to be working ok, since I sucked some of the dust out- but the problem I am having now occurs at start up. I do receive on error message after xp fully loads. It reads; RUNDLL error loading c:programfileswildtangentappscdacdaengine0400.dll However- I dont necessarily believe that this is related, but I thought Id better be thorough.
